Senior Registration Posted on August 19, 2014August 25, 2014 [Update August 19, 2014]: Mary to Peggy: “Hi Peggy, Thanks for your email and the good information that you have been providing. With respect to the Senior Tuition waiver form, it takes 48 hours to process and show up in the online payment program. So we will show charges for our senior classes for a day or two. They will be removed and those classes will become not for credit when the form that we filed online is processed. So I was told at Nova that those registering for senior classes will not be booted out tomorrow because the waiver form is not yet entered in the system and there will be a grace period in the rule requiring full payment for those who have filed today.” [Update August 19, 2014]: From Peggy: A tip from one of our seniors. Thanks, Carol for passing this on. Another tip from me, they have a little sample that doesn’t look like one just above each blank. From Carol and Barbara to Peggy: Good morning, Peggy!! Thank you for getting and relaying all the info on Senior Registration! Barbara Lowrey and I have followed Bernie’s advice and did a “New Year’s Eve” Senior registration. I went first, and it took me over half an hour to get through the process. I got hung up on the senior tuition waiver form. The hang up was the “number of credits” field. The sample above the box showed “3 crs” and so I typed in “1 cr”. It would only show “1” When I submitted the form, it said the entry was invalid. You must enter the credits as a two digit number. It took me over 15 minutes to figure this out–NO HELP from the screen. So type in “01” and you are good to go. We did not need a photo ID upload. Barbara’s registration took maybe 3 minutes. Thank God for a learning curve!!! [Update August 15, 2014]: From NVCC to Peggy: Good morning Mrs. Harrison. Please forgive me for the oversight in telling you exactly how to access the form.

From NVCC: Re: Subject: Senior Citizen Registration Instructions Good afternoon Mrs. Harrison. Thank you for sharing your thoughts regarding Senior Citizen Registration.
